Cognitive Developmental Robotics: yesterday, today, and
tomorrow
Prof. Minoru Asada, Adaptive Machine Systems,Graduate
School of Engineering, Osaka University
Abstract: Cognitive Developmental Robotics aims at
understanding human's cognitive developmental process based on the
constructive approaches utilizing robots as a tool or computer
simulations. In this talk, I review the approaches in Cognitive
Developmental Robotics (yesterday), and introduce the current
topics of computational neuroscience (today), and discuss about
future social issues (tomorrow).
